S tan aid the cattleman on the
great western plains as much as the
north star aids the mhriner at sea,
bnt to the cattlemen the stars are a
warning rather than a guide. A
keen watch is kept especially on the
•even stars in the Great Bear and
the five stars outlining the letter
“ W ” in the constellation o f Cas
siopeia.
When the cattle are rounded up
fo r the night the foreman o f the
“ cow camp” tells the first gu ard to
watch those stars and report to him
if there is any change in their ap
pearance. When the air is heavy the
stars seem nearer, but when, in con
sequence o f a change in the temper
ature, the air grows thinner, the
stars, although more sharply de
fined, seem farther away.
I f the night is heavy few stars are
seen, but as the barometer rises
first one and then another star
eomes into view. Then the cowboy
on guard wakes the foreman and
says, “ Another star out, sir.”
The foreman tells him to double
the guard and adds, “ Wake me if
the cows get to milling.”
The guard is doubled, but soon
the cattle grow restless, apparently
without reason. They have been
lying closely together and chewing
their cuds, but suddenly a part o f
the herd begins to move, and then
the whole. The cattle rise clumsily
to their feet and begin “ milling” —
that is, moving round and round in
a circle. The moment that the cow
boys notice this restlessness they
begin to shout and sing, and in
most cases the cattle lie down again,
fo r their fears are calmed by the
sound o f human voices. Bnt if the
milling is not checked and the ca t
tle are not qnieted a stampede is
likely to occur.
There is no greater danger on the
western plains than a stampede o f
e heid. Cattlemen can stand the
discomforts o f thirst and hnnger,
cold and rain, dust storms and oth
er hardships, but a stampede fills
them with dread. The rush o f a
herd o f frightened cattle has been
described as more appalling than
the most desperate cavalry charge.
Nothing can withstand it ; every
thing and every one goes down be
fore it. Men are trampled to death.
Many a cowboy, nnable to ride it
out, has been ground to pieces by
thousands o f sharp hoofs as the
herd, in the frenxy o f wild, unreas
oning terror, swept onward to its
own destruction.
According to the belief o f old cat
tlemen, cattle suddenly grow rest
less in this way because they are ex
tremely
susceptible to
sudden
changes in the atmosphere. Unlike
the placid barnyard cow, the free
roving steer o f the great western
plains is a high strung and nervous
animal. A close watch must be kept
on the herd after it is rounded up

ion.

The word “ dago,” whereby many
Americans are wont to designate a
foreigner o f the Latin race, had its
origin in California. In the early
days o f the Golden State the hewers
o f wood and the drawers o f water
were Portuguese. They cultivated
thrifty little gardens and carried on
a fishing trade along the shores and
up the creeks near San Francisco.
TTie most common name among
them was diego, pronounced deeay-

aago was quite natural. The epi

. A writer in the London Express
gives some interesting pointers on
social and official precedence in
England and calls attention to a
few o f the many delicate dilemmas
due to questions o f rank and sta
tion.
“ In the first place,” be says, “ I
may mention that it is a common
error to auppose that all peers take
precedence o f all commoners. N ot
only is this untrue in the case o f o f
ficial precedence, but it is equally
untrue o f personal precedence.
Thus a duke’ s eldest son would pre
cede all earls and a duke’s younger
son and a marquis’ eldest son all
viscounts, while the eldest sons o f
earls and the younger sons o f mar
quises have precedence over all
bishops and barons.
“ Again, in the matter o f peers
themselves it is not right, as is so
often said, to range peers of the
same degree in the order o f the
date o f their patents. Before this
test is appliea there has to be a
preliminary marshaling o f them by
the class o f their creation— peers o f
England preceding those of Scot
land, and both preceding those o f
Great Britain, while peers o f Ire
land and the United Kingdom fo l
low after.
“ Certain high officers o f state
precede all peers, and this is why
their offices are so much coveted by
great nobles. When the late Lord
Salisbury, a marquis, became lord
privy seal' ha at once passed over
the heads o f all marquises and
dukes (saving royal dukes) and
stood in order eighth from the
king’s nephew. Again, judges o f
the nigh court are almost invariably
knighted, but not fo r their own
sakes, for a judge o f the high court
takes precedence long before a
knight, but it is to give their wives
special precedence that the custom
has obtained. Thus the late Mr.
Justice Wright was a bachelor when
elevated to the bench, and it was
not until he married that he accept
ed knighthood.
“ Men, indeed, are often careless
of their own claims, but their wives
have a habit o f being particularly
observant o f such points, and it is
from the women that the reckless
or ignorant hostess will hear o f her
disregard o f their rank. Nor are
such offenses readily forgotten or
forgiven. Now, there seems to be
a general idea that the wife o f a
peer takes precedence o f the dow
ager peeress— usually but not, o f
course, always her mother-in-law.
As a matter o f fact, the dowager
precedes the reigning peeress on
the ground that she is senior in dig
nity, her husband being nearer the
succession. On the other hand, but
on the same ground, the sons o f the
reigning peer take precedence o f
those o f the late peer.
“ I f a woman ia a peeress in her
own right her position is secure, and
•he cannot derogate from her dig
nity, though she may add to it by
marrying into a higher rank.
“ Another point is sometimes for
gotten— the position o f the wives
o f the sens o f peers. The wife o f
the eldest son o f a duke goes in be
fore countesses ana all other peer
esses o f lower rank. So, too, does
a duke’ s daughter. The wife o f the
eldest son o f a marquis, the wives
o f the younger sons o f dnkes and
daughters o f marquises precede vis
countesses.
“ As to the lower title, the wives
o f baronets rank according to their
husband's class and date of crea
tion, but with this exception— thq
baronets o f England, Scotland,
Great Britain and Ireland rank
only according to the dates o f crea
tion. Daughters o f baronets nat
urally precede the daughters o f
knights, and between them come
the wives o f the eldest sons o f
knights. The daughter o f a knight,
be it noted, takes precedence o f the
wives o f the younger eons o f bar
onets and, as a consequence, o f the
wives o f the younger sons o f
knights.
“ Finally there is no social prece
dence between the professions, as
such, but a colonel in the army and
a captaih in the navy are esquires
by right o f that position, and they
would rightly be preceded by a
clergyman who happened to be, let
me ray, the son. o f a knight.”
